Why is the use of muscle power wrong in elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It frightens voters and takes away freedom

Muscle power means using threats, violence, intimidation, or physical influence to affect the election. Elections are democratic only when voters can choose freely and safely, without being forced to support a particular candidate or avoid voting. Fear can change a person’s decision even when the ballot itself remains secret, so the use of force damages both freedom and fairness. It is therefore treated as electoral malpractice.

The other options describe effects that are opposite to the truth. Muscle power does not improve the secret ballot, correct the electoral roll, or increase fairness. Instead, it creates fear, disrupts peace, and may prevent equal participation. Therefore option A is correct because frightening voters takes away the independent choice that a free election must protect.
